“We are here to ask the entire nation, all of Trinidad and Tobago, to go silent, simultaneously, for one minute. This Friday, at ten minutes to one. That was one of Sparrow’s biggest songs, where the nation stood still. We are asking the nation, this Friday, to stand still again, but this time in honour.”
